From a bygone era

I remember as many of you may that when we got in the red zone it was not a problem scoring. Now it is like it is a chore.

 

Hines holding?

 

i do remember being one of the best red zone teams

 

We had Jerome Bettis!

 

Judging by the Browns game we really only have Brown, Bell and Rogers that can catch a ball. I was disappointed by Greens performance. We need him now more then ever. Also need Coates back. Not sure whats going on with Hamilton.

 

We don't have that bruiser HB to run it in or to block for Bell to run it in.

 

Agree on the disappointed by Greens performance so far. I know it's early for him, but is it just me who thinks he plays a little slow, lazy and not very agressive going for the ball?

 

Yup I agree. That is how I saw it. Sure it takes time to get acclimated but he did seem ineffective and lethargic.

 

biggest disappointment for me was cobi hamilton

 

They become far too pass happy inside the 15 and inside the 10 yard line. We have on of the best backs in the league, feed him the rock.

 

For sure. Took notice of him as well. Last game against Dallas he fought for a ball and made a great catch. Hopefully he returns to that form. I think he will be good for our WR corp

 

i remember thinking that. on the first series inside the 10 the holding on "86" - actually was on hamilton - that was costly

 

I believe we are 10th in the league with 63% TD when entering the red zone. Thats not bad at all.

 

Really? That is shocking actually. Again, I am happy with the W but to have to settle for a FG three times against the horrible Browns D was disappointing.

 

I do agree with you there. I found it hard to watch as well. Whoever sad something about pass-happy is right!!!!! We always pass down there and we never use the play action--- that really ticks me off.

 

Green only had 8 snaps in the game.

 

Thanks Glenn. Did not know the numbers. Just kinda felt like when we did finally get to see him he did not look like his head was in the game. I get he is back after missing alot of football but even given this he looked uninspired

 

Yeah I thought it looked kind of slow and unathletic ,sounds like he may still be nursing that ankle.

 

Steelers like to go empty backfield in the redzone. I hate that because now all the defense has to do is defend the pass
